Which of the following statements about chloroplasts is false? a. The role of chloroplasts is to capture light energy. b. The thylakoid membranes (lamellae) contain the enzymes responsible for the carbon-fixation reactions. c. Both the light-dependent (light) and carbon-fixation (dark) reactions occur in the chloroplasts. d. Thylakoids are usually arranged in stacks (grana). e. The stroma is analogous to the matrix of the mitochondria.

Option E.

The stroma is analogous to the matrix of mitochondrial.

Explanation:

Chloroplast are organelles in plants and some protist that stores chlorophyii which help in photosynthesis by converting light energy to chemical energy.

Chloroplast is also called plasmid and have two membranes which contain chlorophyll. The thykaloid membranes contain enzymes that help in carbon fixation reactions. The thykaloid are arranged in stacks. The light dependent and carbon fixation occur in the chloroplast.

Option E is false about chloroplast because it has no stroma that is analogous to matrix of mitochondrial. It is an organelle on its own.

d. in sexual reproduction, offspring have more chromosomes than

either parent.

asexual reproduction results in offspring which are genetically the same as the parent organism (not counting a rare mutation). sexual reproduction produces a random mixture of the genetics derived from both parents
